Jordan’s past is as rich as it gets. Many of the places that are mentioned in the bible lie right here in this country. There is Mount Nebo, supposedly the place where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land. Nearby is Betharaba, the site where Jesus was supposedly baptized.

A few hours away are the magnificent ruins of Petra, a geological and artistic wonderland. With its rose-colored walls and intricately designed architecture, Petra takes you back to Jordan’s rich past and showcases it in the most beautiful way possible. Wadi Rum, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful desert landscapes, provides wonderful contrast with soft sand and pinnacles of melting red rock.

Finally, take a visit to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth and the only sea on which a person can float!

By combining these rich experiences, we promise to make your trip to Jordan an unforgettable one.

Walk through history as you discover the evocative Jerash Roman sites, magical Petra, delightful Madaba, the desert of Jordan, the lowest lake on earth below sea level and finally the holy land of Jerusalem.

Journey to the lowest point on Earth – The Dead Sea and enjoy a dip in the sea before moving to our desert adventure and spend a night out in the wilderness, before culminating in a visit of the iconic Rose-Red Nabataean city of Petra.

The natural and man-made wonders of Petra and Wadi Rum have been drawing travellers here for ages, but the rough-hewn grandeur of Jordan has remained a secret known only to the boldest of thrill-seekers. Indulge into Petra through “the backdoor”, following an ancient Nabatean path. Experience an interesting water stream walk through the scenic sandstone canyon.

The Pyramids of Giza, the only surviving wonder of the ancient world, and Petra, recently voted as one of the new 7 wonders are reasons enough to make this trip. In addition, there are many other stunning sites of antiquities along the Nile and the Dead Sea as well as vibrant bazaars and excellent museums.

Lawrence of Arabia, Roman Emperor Hadrian, the Prophet Moses…..all passed through Jordan. The Kingdom of Jordan is endowed with sites with endless stories of great civilization, kings and gods. The highlight of them all is of course - Petra, one of the 7 wonders of the world. Then crossing the border into Israel, we arrive in Jerusalem. Here, we spend much time in the Old City where the Muslims, Jews, Christians and Armenians so meticulously share their spirituality. Follow the path where Jesus last walked on earth, see the outpouring of emotion at the wailing wall…if this city does not move in, which other can?
